"Chunlu, your mother has told me about your problem, but I can’t just take her word alone. Although you’re grown up, marriage is a big deal after all. You still need your family to look out for you, you can’t just rely on individualism,"
"I heard that you’ve almost broken up with your family over a boy. What’s the situation with this man? Just tell me, what exactly happened? Uncle will listen impartially. I won’t side with your mom or you. I just want to understand the situation and help you analyze it."
Yu Shaohua wasn’t someone to be treated lightly, having been a leader for many years and skilled in ideological work, he was quite capable.
Yan Chunlu immediately felt her uncle loom larger, "Uncle, it’s really just that my mom is being unreasonable. Will you listen to me? It’s not at all as she described." She recounted how she met Bai Song, how Bai Song chased off a thief, and how they had encountered a car accident and saved people, among other things.
Yu Shaohua frowned upon hearing about Bai Song and Bai Xiao, realizing that his niece actually knew Bai Xiao.
Could it be that his sister hadn’t realized that Bai Xiao resembled someone from their own family?
"You say it was just saving people, do you know what his intentions were? Maybe he knew about your family’s situation and had some ulterior motives for saving you. Why else would he specifically choose you?" Yu Shaohan was being quite unreasonable and spoke rudely.
Yan Chunlu’s brows furrowed in anger, unable to justify herself regarding Bai Xiao, but she was quite assertive when it came to her own mother.
"Mom, how can you say that? After the car accident, Bai Song helped many people. If he was just currying favor, why would he bother saving others too? Both Bai Song and Bai Xiao are good people. You don’t know, at the scene, there were so many casualties, and Bai Xiao didn’t even ask for anyone’s identity while helping them, whether they were in sedans or buses, he went over to help all the injured.
"Not to mention Bai Song. If it hadn’t been for them, several more might have died that day." She wouldn’t allow her own mother to slander the man she admired.
"Fine, you say he’s a good person, a decent person. If he doesn’t like you, then why is he leading you on, making you come here, insisting on transferring to this place? What are his real intentions then?"
Yan Chunlu wanted to rebut, but Yu Shaohua waved his hand, signaling for both to calm down.
"So you’re saying you like Bai Xiao’s brother, Bai Song? How about him? Does he have feelings for you too?"
Yu Shaohua didn’t see it as a big deal; mutual affection between a man and a woman is quite normal. If two people truly have feelings for each other, why should anyone stop them?
Yan Chunlu lowered her head and gritted her teeth, "Uncle, Bai Song has always been rejecting me. He says we aren’t suitable for each other. But I really like him. I thought that if I could transfer to be in the same place as him, over time, love would grow."
Yu Shaohua laughed at this point, "Alright, now I understand. This is a story of you liking someone who doesn’t like you back. And then your mom keeps putting a label on him, thinking that he has seduced you."
Looking at his own sister, "Shao Han, this time it’s your fault. What does this have to do with others? You! Every time something happens, you always twist the logic to favor your side. Plainly speaking, it’s just bias. The fault always lies with others."
